For some exercises, several teams may have been combined and will work together as a single team. So, you should be aware of which teams you represent as subnet controllers will probably ask you for that information when they check in.  
Your subnet controller may ask you for the full team name of your team.  For some exercises, several teams may have been combined and will work together as a single team. Nevertheless, report only the name of the host team or the neighborhood in which the staging area is located. Your tactical call sign should be based on this host name.  


Note: During NET Simplex Net exercises, we have encouraged operators to use suffixes (“South Heights-2”, etc.) because there were often several AROs from the same NET participating. Do not add a suffix for exercises or deployments where you operate from a staging area as there will only be one ARO representing a team at a time.
